Fresh raspberries are in peak season from spring through late summer but you can find them on grocery store shelves year round. This collection of raspberry desserts pairs the juicy berries with chocolate, lemon, vanilla, and other sweet flavors. Each raspberry dessert recipes showcases the fruit in a creative and delicious way. Here you'll find raspberry brownies, cakes, pies, cookies, and more.
Double-Chocolate Mascarpone Raspberry Pie
Chocolate and raspberries are one of the most decadent dessert pairings, and this thick, creamy double-chocolate pie hits all the right notes. Bittersweet chocolate, mascarpone, and powdered sugar make up the filling for this raspberry dessert, while the fresh fruit is mixed with jam for a glossy, delicious topping. Complete this over-the-top dessert with a whipped white chocolate topping.
Raspberry-Peach Clafouti
Why pick just one summer fruit when you can have two? Raspberries team up with peaches in this light baked dessert for double the juicy, fruity flavor. Though it definitely fits in the raspberry dessert category, you could also serve it in the morning alongside eggs and bacon for a show stopping brunch.
Raspberry-Apple Kuchen with Warm Cream Sauce
Though summer is all about fresh berries, plenty of desserts with raspberries can transition into fall, too. This craveable kuchen just does that, mixing the berries with fresh-sliced apples, cinnamon, and pie spice. If you really want to push the fall flavors with just a hint of summer, serve with a warm eggnog sauce drizzled on top.
Raspberry Pie with Chambord
You aren’t likely to find any other raspberry desserts with more fresh fruit than this delicious pie. The filling uses five full cups of raspberries, tossed in sugar and Chambord (a black raspberry liqueur). As it bakes, it turns into a super juicy, sweet, slightly tart pie that’s at its best with a simple whipped cream topping to finish it off.
Baked Raspberry Custards
Tasty raspberry desserts don’t have to be complicated, and this one keeps it ultra simple. With just five ingredients (plus a few extra raspberries for garnish), you can whip up these silky, creamy custard cups. They’re at their best when they’ve had time to chill in the fridge, so it’s a great make-ahead dessert for a special occasion.
Raspberry Sorbet
Light, refreshing sorbet is just what you need on a hot summer day. You’ll only need four ingredients (plus water), and a little patience to wait for this sorbet to freeze. Once it’s ready, it’s also a gorgeous light pink color that will make everyone want to dive in spoon-first.
Pomegranate-Raspberry Bars
Hello, red! These chewy raspberry and pomegranate bars are a slightly tart blend of two tasty red fruits. This recipe calls for topping off the bars with a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds, but you could always swap in berries to bring out the flavor of this raspberry dessert.
Spiked Raspberry-Lemonade Cupcakes
Turn a popular summer drink into a yummy raspberry dessert. These cupcakes have a mix of lemon juice and raspberry liqueur in the batter, creating a swirl of warm-weather flavors. Top with a creamy raspberry frosting, fresh berries, and a lemon wedge for a cute presentation.
Lemon-Cream Pavlova with Berries
A homemade lemon curd is the base for the fluffy filling in this dessert with raspberries. Pile it high on top of a crisp meringue shell and finish with crunchy chopped pistachios and plenty of fresh raspberries.
Raspberry-Lemon Whoopie Pies
The combination of lemon and raspberry is a perfect match. Here, we're adding fresh raspberries to tender buttermilk cake and filling the pieces with a lemony cream cheese frosting.
Sour Cream Donut Holes with Raspberry Sugar & Glaze
Finish homemade donut holes with a sweet raspberry glaze and tangy raspberry sugar. We're making the sugar with freeze-dried raspberries and sifting it to achieve the perfect texture.
Apple, Rhubarb, and Raspberry Pie with Almond Star Crust
A trio of fruits is our secret to the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Start with an almond crust and toss in apples, rhubarb, and raspberries. Flavor the filling with a touch of cinnamon and sugar.
Peach-Berry Slump
A slump is very similar to a cobbler and includes a sweet fruit base and tender biscuit topper. Start this easy raspberry dessert on the stovetop and finish the dish in the oven. A scoop of caramel ice cream is our favorite way to top the warm treat.
Earl Grey Tea Cake
Raspberry dessert recipes don't get easier than this! Dress up a box of yellow cake mix with Earl Gray tea. Once baked, layer on fluffy whipped cream and fresh raspberries. We recommend refrigerating for at least 4 hours before serving.
Schaum Torte
A Schaum Torte is a Wisconsin dessert that's made with a crisp meringue-like cake, whipped cream, and fresh berries. Our Test Kitchen likes to serve the cake with raspberries, but you could also swap in strawberries or blueberries.
